The Museum police on Saturday arrested Kerala Janapaksham (Secular) leader, P. C. George on the charge of behaving in a sexually inappropriate manner towards a woman named as prime accused in the politically stormy solar investment fraud case.

The police booked him on the charge of outraging the modesty of a woman under Sections 354 and 354 (A) of the Indian Penal Code.  A magistrate court released Mr. George on conditional bail.

High drama and vindictive politics marked Mr. George’s high-profile arrest. Mr. George alleged the case was “false, fabricated and orchestrated by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to exact political vengeance.”
